Description

Long-term Bangkok resident and former New Orleans cop Bob Turtledove has the knack of getting people out of difficult situations.

So when a young man from Utah goes missing in Bangkok, his parents are soon knocking on Bob’s door asking for help.

But what starts out as a simple missing person case takes a deadly turn as Bangkok Bob’s search for the missing Mormon brings him up against Russian gangsters, hired killers, corrupt cops and kickboxing thugs.

And he learns that even in the Land of Smiles, people can have murder on their minds.

Bangkok Bob and The Missing Mormon is about 63,000 words, equivalent to about 250 pages.
